Hey! it’s a mech game, WITH MECHS! and I’m Tonyski. Fragger’s in there too. There’s also collectables and tanks and more stuff blowing up in New York.

Today’s Portal 2 video is a little different. I was so blown away by all of the hidden pieces of art around the game, I decided to compile them into a video. It’s an art gallery with portals and robots!

CaptainTony noticed a very recognizable face in Leviathan’s Twitpic stream… I’m really curious to see the rest of the project!(Louis Wu 20:33:26 UTC)

urk’s hoping to give out a lot of star nameplates this week – all you gotta to to qualify is come up with a cool jetpack picture. Full rules at Bungie.net!(Louis Wu 18:43:09 UTC)

Couple of new vids for you on Bungie.net’s Comm Chatter today: KayEmX and FKIV are back – they’ve posted the followup to their Swag montage, and once again, it’s Sniper Central. CruelLEGACEY posted Fails of Reach – FAN FAILS 3 – lots of common fails…

Godly Perfection posted another in his Forge Lesson series – this one is called ‘Veteran Testing’, and involves watching jaded folks who’ve seen it all play your map – and seeing what they use (or don’t use). Go read! (Thanks, urk.)(Louis Wu 18:31:17 …

Grumpy sent us word of a new Halo 2 trick – Muzza, from jumpers.org, decided to snag the Scarab gun on Metropolis. Without a Banshee, or any other flying device. He just… meleed himself up there. These guys never cease to amaze!(Louis Wu 18:27:47 UTC)

It’s a bird, it’s a plane…

The Speed Demos Archive just posted Halo 1 Done Segmented – the parting gift scurty and slYnki created for High Impact Halo and released last month. There’s some pretty interesting commentary from the duo posted beneath the video – go give it a read! …

OboeCrazy has been collecting mini-bloopers in Reach; they’re not combined, but they’re small enough that visiting multiple links shouldn’t tax you too much. Check out how to get a Showstopper on yourself, a campaign clip showing what happens when Falc…

Now your failure is complete.

All of this is tearing us apart.

Learning from the “Grizzled Ancients” of your map.

Domino’s back, and he has another Defiant Map Pack code he wants to give away! If you need it… stop by his giveaway page and add your name to the list. This one’s short – he’s picking a winner on Wednesday.(Louis Wu 14:58:05 UTC)

DeepCee let us know that ODS Steve #86 is live – Steve continues to have tricks up his sleeve.(Louis Wu 14:48:03 UTC)

Frank O’Connor sat down with Gamasutra to talk about the future of the Halo franchise – it’s an interesting read, and while Frank doesn’t seem to be able to nail down WHY Halo managed to become the transmedia megalith it is (exactly), he does a good j…

CruelLEGACEY let us know that The Fails of Reach Episode 8 is now online – several minutes of what NOT to do in mulltiplayer (and Campaign, too!). Fun stuff. (That racing guy at the end should really consider his timing…)(Louis Wu 14:22:54 UTC)
